Aim To explore the effects of heat stress on TNF-?-induced fever and the content of cAMP in rat hypothalamus. Methods ①We examined the peak time of HSP70 expression in hypothalamus after heat stress; ②We studied the change of TNF-?-induced fever and the content of cAMP in hypothalamus after heat stress. Result The maximum expression of HSP70 in hypothalamus was attained at 12 h after heat stress. Heat stress limited TNF-?-induced fever and decreased the content of cAMP in hypothalamus. Conclusion Heat stress can inhibit TNF-?-induced fever in rats, and this effect may be related with the inhibition of cAMP synthesis induced by high expression HSP70 in hypothalamus.

[Abstract ] Objective Cofilin-1 is involved in the pathogenesis of various tumours .However, the expression and effect of Cofilin-1 in hepatocellular carcinoma is not clear .The aim of this study is to observe the Cofilin-1 gene expression in human hepatocel-lular carcinoma (HCC) tissues, and to explore the effect of Cofilin-1 gene expression on invasion and metastasis of HCC HuH-7 cells. Methods Real-time quantitative PCR was used to assess the Cofilin-1 gene expression in human HCC tissues and normal tumor-ad-jacent tissues.The specific small interfering RNA ( siRNA) of Cofilin-1 sequence was synthetized in vitro , and was transfected into HCC HuH-7 cells using liposome transfection.The experiment was divided into Cofilin-1-siRNA group, Ctrl-siRNA group and un-transfected group.Western blot assay was used to detect the protein expression of Cofilin-1.Migration and invasion experiments in vitro were used to investigate the invasive ability of transfected cells. Results Compared with the adjacent liver tissue , Cofilin-1 gene ex-pression in human liver cancer tissue was significantly increased (0.698 ±0.156 vs 3.523 ±0.412, P<0.05).The expression of Cofilin-1 protein in Cofilin-1-siRNA group was 0.558 ±0.033, which was lower than that in Ctrl-siRNA group ( 0.933 ±0.015 )
and in untransfected group (0.961 ±0.020) (P<0.05).The results of migration and invasion experiments in vitro showed that the amount of migration and invasion cells in Cofilin-1-siRNA group were significantly lower than Ctrl-siRNA group or untransfected group (58.50 ±1.78 vs 79.00 ±1.33, 74.50 ±1.35,P<0.05; 36.50 ±0.83 vs 60.20 ±1.60, 51.50 ±1.14, P<0.05). Conclusion Cofilin-1 is highly expressed in HCC, and the invasion and metastasis of HCC HuH-7 cells is suppressed by inhibiting the Cofilin-1 gene expression.

Objective To Explore the significance of successful exposing and recognizing Zuckerkandl's tuhercle(ZT)during thyroidectomy.Methods Three hundred and seventy patients(501 sides) underwent lobectomy or total thyroidectomy from January 2009 to June 2011 were included in this study.The ZT was assessed in terms of its presence or absence,size and anatomical association with the recurrent laryngeal nerve(RLN)and superior parathyroid(SP).Results ZTs were found in 412 of 501 sides ( 82.2％ ),among which 368(89.3％ ) ZTs were located in the middle third of the lateral lobe of the thyroid gland.ZTs passed over the RLN in 379 of 412 sides(92.0％ ).When the ZTs were located in the middle or lower third of the lateral lobe of the thyroid gland,the SPs were all located in the cranial portion of ZT.The SP was adhered to the ZT in 80.1％ of the cases.RLN damage rate was 0.40％,and no SP damage occurred.Conclusion Exposing and recognizing Zuckerkandl's tubercle during thyroidectomy is of important clinical significance,which helps to identify and protect RLN and SP,so as to reduce surgical complications.

Objective To explore the relationship between snoring and hypertension in the elderly.Methods A total of 375 subjects who were ≥40 years without stroke and myocardial infarction accepted questionnaire survey on snoring.Non conditional Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the factors of hypertension.Results In 375 subjects,non-snore was in 169 subjects,occasionally snore was in 86 subjects and regular snore was in 120 subjects,the prevalence of hypertension in them were 33.7％(57/169),39.5％(34/86) and 49.2％ (59/120),respectively,there was significant difference among them.Non conditional Logistic regression analysis showed:after correcting other factors,regular snore was still risk factor of hypertension,the OR value was 2.124 (95％ CI 1.189-3.796).According to gender stratification,regular snore was still risk factor of hypertension in female,the OR value was 3.993 (95％ CI 1.259-12.663),rather than risk factor in male.Condusion Regular snore is relevant to the increased prevalence of hypertension,and it is a risk factor of hypertension.

objective To investigate the effects of different sections of receptor associated protein (RAP) on the expression and distribution of TRPC6,synaptopodin and podocalyxin in passive Heymann nephritis(PHN). Methods Male Sprague-Dawley rats were injected with three kinds of antisera (anti-RAP full-length serum,anti-RAP N-terminal serum and anti-RAP C-terminal serum)to establish three kinds of PHN models.The control group was injected with normal rabbit serum.The quatitation of 24 h urinary protein,serum albumin and creatinine were taken before injection and one week after PHN model successfully induced.The histopathologic changes of renal tissues were observed by light microscopy.The expression and distribution of TRPC6,synaptopodin and podocalyxin in glomerular podocytes were observed by laser scanning confocal microscopy and analyzed by fluorescence quantitative software after indirect immunofluorescence double staining.Results The quantities of 24 h urinary protein in the three model groups were significantly higher than those of themselves before injection and control groups (P<0.01,respectively).The values of serum albumin and creatinine were not significantly different before and after injection (P>0.05).The expression of TRPC6 in podocytes was higher in the PHN model groups than that of control group.Fluorescence intensity of TRPC6 in RAP full-length group was stronger than that in RAP N-terminal or C-terminal groups.The expressions of synaptopodin and podocalyxin distributed along the glomerular basement membrane as spot,discontinuous short line and defect of some segments,and were lower in three PHN groups than those of control group.Fluorescence intensity of synaptopodin and podocalyxin among three PHN groups had no differences. Conclusions RAP full-length and N-terminal or C-terminal parts can increase the expression of podocyte TRPC6,but decrease the expressions of synaptopodin and podocalyxin,and alter their distribution,which may be associated with the proteinuria,however,their role in the PHN pathogenesis needs further study.

The patients with advanced esophageal cancer have poor survival rate if they are treated by radiotherapy alone. The poor effect of treatment is caused by the failure of local control and the occurrence of distant metastasis. The chemotherapy can be used to improve the control rate of local lesion, and the effective rate is about 3 5%-5 5%. The concurrent chemoradiotherapy not only enhances the sensitivity of tumor tissues to radiotherapy, but also improves the therapeutic effect of chemotherapy drugs. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy cooperate with each other to reduce the progression and metastasis of tumor, and to prolong the survival time of patients. Therefore, the optimization of chemotherapy regimens based on concurrent chemoradiation become an important question in the studies about advanced esophageal carcinoma recently. The clinical application of several chemotherapy regimens for improving the effects of radiotherapy in the treatment of esophageal cancer have been discussed in the paper.

This study is to investigate the treatment of Jin Chai antiviral capsule for influenza virus FM1/47 (H1N1) infection. The model of pneumonia was established by dropping influenza virus into the nose of normal mice, real-time PCR and Western blot technique were used to detect the virus load and the interferoninducible transmembrane protein3 (IFITM3) in lung of mice at the 1st day, 3rd day, 5th day and 7th day after affected. The results showed that Jin Chai antiviral capsule in large, middle, small dose groups can decrease virus load significantly at each time point, after being affected (P<0.05, P<0.01), Jin Chai antiviral capsule can increase the interferoninducible transmembrane protein3 in lung of mice, large dose groups are significantly higher in expression of IFITM3 compared with model group at each time point (P<0.05, P<0.01). Middle dose groups are significantly higher in expression of IFITM3 compared with model group at the 3th day and the 5th day (P<0.05), small dose groups are significantly higher in expression of IFITM3 compared with model group at the 3th day (P<0.05). It can be concluded that Jin Chai antiviral capsule exerts antiviral effects against influenzavirus by raised expression of IFITM3.
